Money has a time value. Time value of money means that a peso today is worth more
than a peso
tomorrow.
If we have the option of receiving P10,000 today, or P10,000 a year from now, we will
choose to get the money now.
There are several reasons for our choice to get the money immediately.
First, we can use the money and spend it on basic human needs such as food and
shelter. If we already have enough money to survive, then we can use the P10,000 to
buy clothes, books, or transportation.
Second, we can invest the money that we receive today, and make it grow. If we do not
want to risk the money in stocks, we may buy riskless Treasury securities.
Third, there is a threat of inflation. There is a good possibility that a car selling for
P500,000 today may cost P600,000 next year. Thus, the P10,000 we receive a year from
now may not buy the same amount of goods and services that P10,000 can buy today.
We can avoid this erosion of the purchasing power of the dollar due to inflation if we can
receive the money today and spend it.
Fourth, human beings prefer to get pleasurable things as early as possible, and
postpone unpleasant things as much as possible. We can use the P10,000 that we
receive today buy new clothes, or to go out for dinner. If you are going to get the money
a year from now, you may also have to postpone all these nice things.
Then there is the uncertainty of not receiving the money at all after waiting for a year.
People are risk-averse, meaning, they do not like to take unnecessary risk. To avoid the
uncertainty, or the risk of non-payment, we would like to get the money as soon as
possible. Banks and thrift institutions know that to attract deposits from investors, they
must offer some kind of incentive. This incentive, the interest, compensates the
depositors for their unwillingness to spend their money immediately. For instance, if the
bank offers a 5% rate of interest to the depositors, the P10,000 today will become
P10,500 after a year.
Time value involves two major concepts: future value and present value.
KEY TERMS:
1) Future value of a single amount-- sometimes called compound value, which is the
amount to which a present amount of money or series of payments will grow over
time when compounded at a given interest rate. The factors affecting future value
are:
a) Principal- amount of money borrowed or invested today.
b) Interest-amount paid for (in case of borrowed money) or earned by (in case of
invested money) the use of money.
c) Time period- the length of tine or number of periods during which interest is paid
or earned.
The value of peso today will increase in the future because of interest.
2) Present value- -it is the current value of a future amount of money, or series of
payments, evaluated at an appropriate discount rate. A discount rate, sometimes
called the required rate of return, is the rate of interest that is used to find present
values. The process of determining the present value of a future amount is called
discounting.
3) Annuity- a series of equal-sized cash flows occurring over equal intervals of time.
An ordinary annuity exists when the cash flows occur at the end of each period. An
annuity due exists when the cash flows occur at the beginning of each period.
4) Future value of an ordinary annuity- the future value of a series of equal-sized
cash flow with the first payment taking place at the end of the first compounding
period. The last payment will not earn any interest since it is made at the end of the
annuity period.
5) Present value of an ordinary annuity- the present value of a series of equal-
sized cash flows with the first payment taking place at the end of the first
compounding period.
6) Future value of an annuity due - the future value of a series of equal-sized cash
flow with the first payment taking place at the beginning of the first compounding
period.
7) Present value of an annuity due - the present value of a series of equal-sized
cash flows with the first payment taking place at the beginning of the first
compounding period.
8) Perpetuity- an annuity with an indefinite life, that is, the payments continue
indefinitely. The present value of a perpetuity is computed by the following
equation:

expected cash flows as of Jan.1, 2024 using 8% as discount rate?

payments)
b) Investment B pays P125 at the end of every 6 months for the next 10 years (a total of 20
payments)
c) Investment C pays P125 at the beginning of every 6 months for the next 10 years (a total of
20 payments)
d) Investment D pays P2,500 at the end of the tenth year
